I checked this out over the weekend and was really impressed with it. I thought it was quite well written a few twists and turns I didn't pick would happen.
Here's a link about it:

Pretty good flick, love the ending and the part where the sheriff hits the guy with his truck and the arm is still attached to the grill.

I saw this film back in the 80's, I seem to remember liking it. Glad to hear it still holds up to modern viewers. I might just go buy the DVD

I've seen it in my local EZYDVD store...
I was slightly interested when I saw it was by the same lot that did Alien.
Had no idea it was about the undead!
I'm gonna go grab it, it's over here for only $10AUD, which is cheap as hell...I read the synopsis, sounds like tha shit!

you must find it...
it's a great film. Try and find the Anchor Bay 2 disc version with the cardboard sleve over the regular dvd case.

It's OK - notice the "hypo-in-the-eye" bit has finally been reinstated into the UK release among other death scenes after they were trimmed following the film's removal from the "nasties" list.
Nice ending.

That scene was particulary nasty! Its a pity about the 'video nasty' scare of the 80s a lot of real good movies were cut or banned never to see the light of day again, uptight fuckers.

i may be mistaken but i think that was the cover art of the book as well .. which is weird in itself.

I saw this in the 80's a very good film with a good story to it and good effects...One of Robert Englunds early films to.
I bought the Anchor Bay two disc version a few months ago and it was well worth it.:)

Think the Blue Underground 2 DVD set is actually better than the Anchor bay. Think it has a better transfer.

You can't seriously have a name like "dvdhorror"?
A friend of mine used to call himself "Kill Bill 2" in Soldier of Fortune Online.

i found the Dead and Buried DVD double disc special Ed. yesterday.
And in the same store i found and bought :
Captain Kronos vampire hunter,
Shaun of the Dead
Fulchi's The Beyond (the collector's tin)
and i ordered a copy of Fearless Vampire Killers (Polanski)
that'll hold me for a couple of hours ..

well, i watched dead and buried last night.
i'm glad i have it .. but i have to admit that i was a bit let down.
There were a couple of good shock scenes but the rest of it had the look and feel of a made for TV movie.
Plust i wasnt crazy about the acting ... of anyone in the film.
Also the voices seemed a bit off, like they didnt match. Maybe it was bad looping from an era where they didnt think people would notice, i dunno.
It's also the kind of horror where plot devices are inserted for the convenience of the scares. Most make absolutely no sense.
I'm not talking about the basic premise, but more incidentals.
I dont want to put in spoilers so if you've seen the movie and are wondering what i'm talking about PM me.
I guess i was expecting a tighter smarter film, as i remember the book being.
Anyway, i'm glad I saw it, i dont regert buying it .. i guess my expectations were set a little too high..

I bought Dead and Buried and watched it tonight. I liked it. It has a nice ending, average acting and some good 'jump out' scares. Overall, I would say it's a nice little niche title worth owning, especially for the $10 price tag at Best Buy.

I would have bought the double disc set. What's on the second disc? There are 3 commentaries on the single disc .
I watched it again today while listening to the writer/producer/actress commentary. The commentary was really good. Tomorrow I'll listen to the Director commentary. And I think I am actually really digging this movie now. Glad I bought it.
